Control Perimeter: The boundary within which security controls are enforced to protect assets. The perimeter can be physical or virtual and is often established through measures such as firewalls, access control lists, or even physical barriers like walls or locked doors. It is a critical concept in risk management, delineating areas of responsibility and defining where protective measures are implemented.
